Operating instructions

‘Manual’, as this setting will allow you control which speaker the tone comes out of and for
how long. The ‘Auto’ setting is cyclical and quick and should only be used by someone
who is very comfortable setting up Channel Levels.
l The next adjustment is to select the Surround Speaker(s) to be on during the Test Tones.
• Your choices are based on your settings from the “Speaker Configuration” screen
you completed earlier.
i. If you are using only one pair of surround speakers, you will have no
choice to make, continue to the next step.
ii. If you had selected more than one pair of surround speakers, you will
have to do level adjustments of the system with each pair selected
separately, and then with both of them together (A+B).
• What does this mean if you have two pair of Surround Speakers and a pair of
Surround Back Speakers? Fortunately, but not without some extra effort, you will
have to do multiple test tone adjustments, for the best accuracy possible. Once
you have completed all these level adjustments, the AVR-3802’s Personal
Memory Plus feature will remember each and every one of them for you.
i. Test One – Surround Speaker A, Surround Back on
ii. Test Three – Surround Speaker B, Surround Back on
iii. Test Five – Surround Speaker A+B, Surround Back on
l Finally it’s time to start the Test Tones and adjust the levels. Select ‘Yes’ to start the Test
Tone generator in the AVR-3802. You will see a room diagram showing you which
speaker was selected to be adjusted for this setting, each speaker will flash when they
are playing the Test Tone. You will also notice individual level bars for each speaker.
Use the “Up/Down” arrows to raise/lower the level from each channel, and use the
“Left/Right” arrows to select the channel to adjust. Take your time!
• We recommend that once you have completed adjusting the levels, to write down
and secure, the levels for every channel. This will help you to reset the system
quickly to reference if someone changes the levels, which you know will happen.
• Once finished press the “Enter” key. If you have the system exampled above, go
back into Channel Level and reconfigure the speakers for further level
adjustments.

l This setting assigns the digital input jacks of the AVR-3802 to the different input sources
